Evgeny Stalev with 226-ball run
Hey folks, we need to add Evgeny Stalev to this list.
In the World Tournament of 14.1, Evgeny ran 151-and-out against Mike Davis (they were both on a foul apiece, -1 - -1). They graciously let Evgeny continue his run, and he ran all the way to 225 (it was actually a 226-ball run).
Evgeny Stalev's new high run! Отлично, Евгений! ("Excellent, Eugene!")
Totally stoked,

Wow, I had no idea Evengy played 14.1...that's an incredible run! Kudos!
The great thing is, this was on the live stream, and I'm presuming the matches are recorded. If so, you guys are in for a real treat!
They had John Schmidt miked on a table nearby (off camera, but you could hear him), and John was commenting to Mika Immonen on how "Evgeny just got up there and stroked like 'this'. He's really fun to watch!"
The commentators (Mikey Fingers and Shaun Wilkie) mentioned this is Evgeny's new high run, so apparently he did have a previous high run, and that means he must've played 14.1 before.
In any case, Mike Davis was gracious in lending his thoughts after the match was over (but Evgeny was continuing his run), and gave a little 411 on Evgeny's game of choice, Russian Pyramid. Mike made the observation that these Gold Crowns look like bartables to Evgeny, and I think he's right.
What a wonderful match and run!

Sean -- Stalev's run was 224, not 225 or 226.
Yes, he started at a score of (-1), and his opponent also was at (-1).
Then he ran 10 full racks (140 points) plus 11 balls from the 11th rack for the "151 and out" that gave him the game score of 150 - (-1).
He continued, running the remaining 3 balls from the 11th rack plus 5 more full racks, i.e., an additional 73 balls.
Total run: 151 + 73 = 224.
Or, just view it as 16 full racks at 14 balls each = 224. He missed the break shot for the 17th rack.
Stalev was WPA world champion in Pyramid in 1999 and 2000.
AtLarge:
Thank you *very* much for the correction. To be fair to the messenger though, I (we -- the others reporting Evgeny's run?) were going strictly by the score that the commentators (Mikey Fingers and Shaun Wilkie) were keeping. Their final score, shown on the placard graphics at the bottom of the stream screen was "225" (you'll see this when the video is released out on YouTube or what-not). It looks like the commentators got one ball off somewhere.
I (and others reporting Evgeny's run) didn't think to "double check" their math, so shame on me.
Sharp eye, and thank you again,
-Sean
List updated. Y'all made me check which part of Russia Evgeny is from, to find out if he belonged in European green or Asian red...
Sorry About that i jumped the gun.
I thought the Run Number was displaying next to the Players Name, and i see now that both Ivo and Daz are already on the list.

sad news that we lost another member from this list
yes R.I.P. Lou Butera
Correction:
Appleton didn't run 295 on June 25. In fact, he ran 294 on June 24, running exactly 21 racks and then missing a break shot. Run and date inflation!

Joshua Filler from Germany and is currently playing in the world 14.1 at Steinway had a 99 ball run on day 1. He is a junior Europen straight pool champion. I'm not sure if he's 16 or 17. His high run is 293, confirmed by him and two translators, lol (Thorsten and Dieters John)
I think his bio lists his DOB as October 1997 which would make him 17?
